Recently I was on Internet looking up some books that I’ve read to see what other people had to say about them. I came across one book and a lot of people had said it was very fraudulent and that actually author was not kind of person you’d want to associate with. This got me to thinking. There is so much information in our world today circulating by word of mouth, literature, media and now Internet, which is a combination of all these and more. Anyone can write anything they want to, I mean look at me I’m doing it right now. Who’s to say if what I’m writing is credible? How do we discern between legitimate honest writer and words of a fool twisting meanings to trap gullible knaves like myself? With advent of Internet we also have to take a new approach to gaining knowledge and accessing information from others.

In life, best way to know anything is through one’s own experience right? The next best thing is to go to a trusted source of knowledge and wisdom, friend, family or professional. Still we always must be aware that human beings are perfectly flawed creatures, each one with areas of ignorance, fear and suffering. Sometimes we really have to go with our ‘gut’ feeling about something others have said. What about when you want to find out about something that no one you know has experience with?

Following on PART 1, where I outlined basis and reasons for doing a project like this, here is a list of 12 questions which you could use when contacting Experts. (you can change amend as you like to suit your project)

TWELVE QUESTIONS FOR INTERVIEWING THE REAL EXPERTS

1. The Internet is jam-packed with Biz-Ops, Offers, Hype and Promises. MLM, Pyramid Selling, Get Rich Quick Schemes, Gifting Programs................. Each day thousands of new people go online to find ways of replacing or supplementing their income. What pointers / advice would you give to anyone who is considering this and obvious pitfalls they can encounter?

2. One of key ingredients to success, is Multiple Income Streams. Personally, I am a firm believer in this but often newbies AND NetVeterans alike make assumption that by simply joining every available program, they can achieve a steady flow of multiple incomes, but in reality this hardly ever happens. Are you a supporter of MIS method and how would you combine successfully different products, services and / or offerings into one main business? And WHY?

3. Often, figures are banded around that some 95% of people on Net do not make money, or even lose money online. That figure is obviously difficult to prove accurately but there is still some element of truth behind it. I have helped many people to understand where go wrong, but can you give your personal top 3 reasons why you believe such a high proportion of people fail?

4. Over years, I have seen many people become disheartened by lack of 'instant financial gratification', or in other words ' making big bucks overnight!' - that they assume will happen as soon as they go online. If we took 'wake up and smell coffee' approach - in your opinion how long should people (especially inexperienced) expect to wait before they see some return of their investment, a steady flow of income and of course, their first million dollars?! And .....WHY?

5. I run three businesses, generating seven figures a year and personally earning six figures. But - it is hard work, very hard. The rewards are great and play-time is excellent! I constantly strive to work smarter NOT harder, by researching and learning (by successes AND failures!). There is I believe, a misconception that you can run an online business successfully, in a few hours (or less!) a week. Do you subscribe to this opinion? How much effort do you view as being optimal for developing, creating, growing and sustaining a successful Internet Business? And of course.....WHY?

6. Most, if not all gurus, Big Dogs, and Top Marketers tend to agree, that real money is in backend. In other words, true profit comes from follow-up sales to existing customers or to your opt-in list subscribers. Again, I totally agree. However, one of biggest problems facing many online businesses (especially new starters) is actually getting customers, and building an opt-in list. This all boils down to one thing - TRAFFIC. No traffic, No Prospects, No Customers, No Sales, No Back-end. No Profit. Can you give your top 5 traffic producing tips that would get a newbie off ground, or even to enhance traffic to a site / business who is looking to grow?
